Issue/Introduction
How to install TRA on top of Rendezvous 8.5.x (or higher RV versions)?
Environment
OS: All
Resolution
This is because RV 8.5.x switch to OS native installer from TIBCOUniversalInstaller.
TRA installer looks for $TIBCO_HOME/_installInfo/rv-8.5.#.###_prodInfo.xml to determine if RV is available or not.
This "xxx_prodInfo.xml" will not be created if RV is installed using the .zip or .tgz package. In this case, users have to create folder $TIBCO_HOME/_installInfo/ and file rv-8.5.#.###_prodInfo.xml manually.
For user's convenience, copy of file " rv-8.5.1.000_prodInfo.xml" for Linux and Windows are attached. Users can download it, update the version number , then search and replace the TIBCO_HOME in the file, and then put it under folder $TIBCO_HOME/_installInfo/.
If the RV 8.5 is installed using .rpm, .exe or other OS package, file $TIBCO_HOME/_installInfo/rv-8.5.#.###_prodInfo.xml will be created. Users need make sure the OS user that they use to install TRA has read permission to this file and .jar files under $TIBCO_HOME/tibrv/8.5/lib, read+ executable permission to $TIBCO_HOME/tibrv/8.5/bin/rvd, and write permission to folder $TIBCO_HOME/_installInfo/ before installing TRA.
In case a new TIBCO_HOME is to be created, users will get a warning "The directory ### is not empty. ...". Please choose Yes and continue.
